Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 673 First Meeting
At the same time, the piece of land that Zhao Ji had arbitrarily allocated as a battlefield disappeared.

Zhishilang on the top of Changbai Mountain, wearing a red silk crotch,
Long silt invades half of the sky, and the wheel-knife shines brightly in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly he heard the government troops approaching, and he drew his sword and rushed forward.

For example, if Liaodong dies, beheading will cause no harm.

[Zhi Shi Lang Wang Bo] On the battlefield, when Zhao Zhen and others arrived, the entire battlefield was filled with the chanting of "No Song of Death in Liaodong".

The battlefield is a piece of land chosen from the invading party's world. If they win, nothing will change. If they lose, the land will either fall into the fog or be pulled back to their own world by the winner's luck.

For example, the [Long-legged Dragon] battlefield is where Zhou Bi and Mao Xi use the entire [Long-legged Dragon] world and two large mountains as their battlefield.

As for the battlefield of [Bi Mingwei and Bai Xuanwei], it was a place randomly selected by Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty court and sent two generals, Bi Dingshu and Bai Nengsheng, to test it.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhen materialized the territory of Liangshan into the [Floating Continent]. In the fantasy world, the places that Zhao Zhen had never occupied were torn apart and fell into the [Land of Chaos].

The largest area was the Jingji Road, Hedong Road, Hebei East and West Roads, Southwest Beijing and North Road, which formed another Song State headed by Emperor Zhao Ji.

Just talking about the battlefield of [Zhi Shilang Wang Bo], this Wang Bo is indeed a man of good fortune.

From the main world, he rushed into the mist. He was lucky enough to find a foothold in the [Land of Chaos]. The place he occupied was the Diaowo Valley of Changbai Mountain, the remnant of Mount Tai, which was occupied by Wang Bo's uprising.

Having experienced invasion and being invaded, Wang Bo also figured out the rules here.

He used up his luck and found out that Liang State had been newly established, and launched an invasion without hesitation.

After Zhao Zhen and his men arrived, they first set up a military camp. Then they sent out Ma Ling, Wu Neng, and Xu Jin to lead scouts and capture Wang Bofang's spies for questioning.

After the camp was hastily set up, Ma Ling and others captured seven or eight people and brought them back for questioning.

In this area today, except for Zhao Zhen's side, the rest of the people, regardless of their identities, are mostly on Wang Bo's side.

Among the seven or eight people, only two were Wang Bo's spies, and the other six were ordinary civilians, all of them elderly people over fifty years old with limited mobility. They felt that they would not live long and were unwilling to hide.

After asking them separately, these people didn't provide anything useful. They only found out the location of Diaowuyu.

From where Zhao Zhen set up camp to Diaowoyu, there are still hundreds of miles.

After some discussion, Zhao Zhen and others decided to charge forward.

Not to mention anything else, Zhao Zhen’s expedition this time, not to mention the food and fodder, had 6000 soldiers, and it cost qi to transport them.

If nothing is gained, the luck consumed alone is an expense that cannot be ignored. If it happens a few more times, the luck of Liang will be exhausted. At that time, if there is another invasion, it will not be able to send troops and can only passively wait for the enemy to rush into Liang.

On the second day, the Guard Cavalry Battalion took the lead and the army rushed towards Diaowoyu.

Zhao Zhen was still cautious about Wang Bo. After all, Wang Bo had over 100,000 soldiers and was not so easy to get rid of.

Zhao Zhen knew quite a bit about Wang Bo, as he had gathered information from fragments of historical books. He was the first to raise the banner of rebellion, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was the one who rang the bell for the demise of the Sui Dynasty. He had fought for Yu Wenzhi, Dou Jiande, and many other forces in the Tang Dynasty throughout his life, and he was not a man without courage or strategy. Zhao Zhen was naturally very cautious when marching, and he only marched thirty miles a day.

Wang Bo naturally also found out the location of Zhao Zhen's army.

In the main world, Wang Bo had fought with the Zou State for a long time. Unfortunately, in order to exchange for the path to enter the [Floating Continent], Wang Bo gave up most of the people and only took the strong men and women with him, selecting 100,000 people to follow him.

No country would be kind enough to lend the fog channel to Wang Bo for use.

After all, no one can tell whether someone is a friend or an enemy once they enter the [Floating Continent]. At least, in the minds of the Zou people, Wang Bo is definitely not a friend.

[Diaowoyu] Dazhai, Wang Bo summoned Marshal Nao Tianlong, General Peng Hu, and Military Advisor Zhang Qing to discuss matters.

The three heard about the Liang State's formation. Military Advisor Zhang Qing exclaimed, "How could this be? Liang State is a newly established country, but more than half of the soldiers are wearing armor?"

Nao Tianlong also said, "My lord, could it be that the spies saw it wrong?"

Wang Bo, who called himself the "King of the World," shook his head and said, "It can't be wrong. Three waves of scouts who came back said the same thing."

"Sixty thousand troops must be elite."

Peng Hu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, we also have an army of 100,000, so why should we be afraid of him? Your Majesty raised the banner of rebellion, and the government troops could not stop us. Even if we were stranded in Zou, we would not suffer any loss. Now there is only Liang, and we do not need to be afraid of him. I am willing to lead 30,000 soldiers to test the quality of this group of people. They may be just bluffing like the government troops back then."

Zhang Qing heard this and said quickly, "No."

"Your Majesty, according to the rules, as long as we defeat this group of people, we can enter the territory of Liang. In this case, why bother to divide our forces to test them? We should come out in full force and decide the outcome in one battle."

Marshal Nao Tianlong also agreed: "What the military advisor said is correct."

Wang Bo listened to the two men's words and said, "If that's the case, we will leave the valley tomorrow and fight him. If we can't invade Liang and plunder the people, we won't be able to support so many soldiers here in the future."

On the second day, after breakfast, a war song was heard in Diaowuyu: Liaodong Liaodong, bones exposed to the wind. Soldiers are all gray-haired, warriors are all empty-handed. Why not raise an army and head for Changbai Peak!

Wang Bo's army, with morale gradually building up, rushed out to charge.

Zhao Zhen had already lined up his troops and was waiting.

Hearing the war song, Zhao Zhen also ordered Du Qian, who was in charge of the army, and Song Wan, who was in charge of the army, to beat the "Crocodile War Drum". The war drums in the army also suddenly sounded, and immediately drowned out the war song of Wang Bo's army.

After the battle array was formed, Wang Bo, accompanied by Marshal Nao Tianlong, General Peng Hu and Military Advisor Zhang Qing, rode out into the battle array with more than a hundred generals lined up on his left and right.

Peng Hu shouted, "Please ask the Liang commander to come out and talk to us."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen rode out accompanied by his ceremonial guards, personal attendants, and Qingyuan guards. Yu Baosi followed closely behind him holding a large flag with the word "Zhao" on it.

Zhang Qing saw this and said to Wang Bo, "Your Majesty, look at this guy going to war, and he brought many female guards with him. I think he is just a noble son who got lucky and became the ruler of a country. There must be no powerful generals among this group of people. Maybe we can challenge him to a battle and kill his generals to shock their morale."

Wang Bo listened, nodded, and shouted: "Listen, Zhao's son, you have the good fortune to establish a country, but you should have heard of the name of [King Zhishi] Wang Bo, so you'd better surrender as soon as possible to save your life. If you dare to resist, I will kill you all!"
